Have The Power To Make Fewer Mistakes

More power, fewer errors leads to success

We all want more power, in the gym and at work. And, contrary to the belief that power corrupts, being at the top is a good thing.

New research in Psychological Science reports that people who feel powerful are less likely to make errors.

In a series of four experiments, researchers split 422 volunteers into three groups. Each was primed to feel powerful, powerless, or neutral.

Next each group performed several tests of cognitive function. "Powerful" participants scored significantly better than the powerless on all the tests. Researchers say those with less power make more errors because they don't feel in control of their ability to complete tasks and instead feel they exist to achieve others' goals.
